FIGHTiNG THE tPiSECT PESTS
Suggestions From the Entomologist
About Combating Boll Weevils,
Scales, Twig Girdlers, Stored Grain
Insects, etc.
*
Clemson Colleee. Dec. 29.?The farm
ers of South Carolina have come faco
to face with the boll weevil problem
and never before has It been necessary
for them to do as careiful planning during
the winter as it is now. The boll
weevil injury is directly dependent upon
the weather conditions. If the season
is moiot and favorable for weevil
development, very serious damage is
expected in the southern part of the
state approximately below a line extending
from Augusta to Charleston,
v but severe damage may also be expected
in the Coastal counties between
Charleston and the North Carolina line
if the season Is wet.
One of the most important habits
that we must form In general farm
? management is to practice farm cleaning
during the fall and winter because
most of our insect pests, including the
boll weevil, find winter shelter in the
dead leaves and grass, and along ditch
banks, fence rows, wood lots, old orchards
and roadsides. Several of our
most serious pests find winter-quarteTB
in and around the cotton and corn
stalks during the winter. If for anyl
reason these stalks have not been prop
erl y cleaned up by plowing under, burning,
or otherwise 'by December first,
it should be done Immediately; and H
?? >' any remain by January first, theyi
should not be allowed to stay one day j
longer. In the dead grass, along wood
lots, under bark, and around stumps)
that are left in the field millions of
field crop insect pests winter success;
x- , fully. Therefore, a farmer should never
fail to look upon the stumps in the
field as a winter hotel for the accomo I
dation of farm pests. I
The Shot Hole Borer.
In many of the orchards at this season
of the year there are trees that
have the bark full of small holes the
size of a number eight shot. These
r holes are .aade by the shot hole borer
or fruit bark beetle, and as this pest
stays in the bark during the winter lr
the grub stage, It is now the proper
time of the year to give it very close
attention. A tree infested with shot
hole borers is not to be regarded as a'
sound tree. In most cases it has been
weakened by peach tree borer in the
crown, or scale on the bark, or both,
and when a tree Is thus weakened it
becomes an ideal breeding ground for
the shot hole borer. Prune the tree|
back thoroughly and cut out all badly
infested branches; But if you do not
Intend to burn this materia! immediate
ly, then you might as well leave] it on
ithe ree. Burn all pruned material and
do not let It lie in the orchard.
Control Of Scales.
The lime-sulphur wash, one of the
Insecticides used for the control of
scale, may be purchased in the market
or it may be made at home preferably
by means of a steam boiler. It can also
be made by the use of a large iron kettle,
provided the correct formula ts
used and directions followed closely.
For information as to where the material
can be obtained write to the Ex
tension Service. Hhoae desiring to
make the material at home by one
method or the other can get full in
formation by writing for Circular 30,
South Carolina Experiment Station.
Two of the most generally injurious
scales infesting the shade trees of our
t state are the gloomy scale and the cottony
maple scale. They infest principally
our sugar and silver maple trees.
In the experimental work at this College
lime-sulpher wasJi has not been
found a satisfactory control for either
of these, but both species can be very
attsfactorily controlled by the application
of one of the commercial spray
oils, properly mixed and properly applied.
Ask for information concerning t?!s
method of treatment so^ that every
possible mistake can be avoided in ot>tainlng
the oil, in making correct mixtures,
in making the separation test
and the proper method of application.
Pecan Twig Qlrdlers. !
During December and January one
should not forget to take a good looto
at the pecan trees. There will be found
twigs that were girdled off by the pecan
twig girdler. Jnsiide of these fallen
twigs are the eggs and larvae of the insect
becaflse the mother beetle girdles
the limbs between the point where the
eggs were laid and the tree. Tkege
twigs as well as the girdled limbs ly%'r
ing under hickory trees in the neighborhood
should be gathered and burned.
^ Stored Grain pests.
the winter is the time to give
#jy. w
the proper treatment to our stored products
to prevent injury by the granary
pests. Year after year we realise more
fully the great importance of conserving
our harvest from the granary peBts,
,V? , Including rats and mice. More and
more it is realized that we must have
better constructed granaries that will
admit of fumigation. When the granary
construction is properly done, fumigation
is very simple and very effective
as well as inexpensive. Carbon bisulphide.
which is the proper fumigant, is
obtained in the market at this time at a
price compartively much more reason

QUIT MEAT WHEN
KIDNEYS^ BOTHER |
Take a glass of Salts before breakfast 1
if your Back hurts or Bladder
is troubling you.
No man or woman who eats meat rega- a
laxly can make a mistake by flushing the jl
kidneys occasionally, says a well-known ^
authority. Meat forms uric acid which 1]
excites the kidneys, they become overworked
from the strain, get duggish and U
fail to filter the waste and poisons from ]jj
the blood, then we get sick. Nearly all |]
rheumatism, headaches, liver trouble, H
nervousness, dizziness, sleeplessness and Ij
urinary disorders come from sluggish S
kidneys. jaThe
moment you feel a dull ache in the g
kidneys or your back hurts or if the jf}
urine is cloudy, offensive, full of sedi- gj
ment, irregular of passage or attended by |]
a sensation of scalding, stop eating meat |j
and get about four ounces of Jad
Salts from any pharmacy; take a |]
tablespoonful in a glass of water before ?j
breakfast and in a few days your kidneys ?}
will act fine. This famous salts is made S
from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, a
combined with lithiar and has been used a
for generations to flush and stimulate 3
the kidneys, also to neutralize the acids S
in urine so it no longer causes irritation, s
thus ending bladder weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive and cannot
injure; makes a delightful effervescent S
lithia-water drink which everyone 3
should take now and then to keep the Ij
kidneys clean and active and the blood |]
1 pure, thereby avoiding serious kidney
I complications. ' [eM
